Dental Sealants in Grimsby

Preventive care is the simplest way to protect your smile for years to come. At Olive Street Dental, we offer dental sealants to help prevent cavities before they start, especially in the hard-to-reach grooves of your back teeth.

While sealants are commonly used for children and teens, adults can benefit too—especially if you have deep grooves or a history of decay.

What Are Dental Sealants?

Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They act as a barrier, shielding your enamel from bacteria and acids that cause cavities.

Sealants are:

• Quick and painless to apply
• Completely safe for kids and adults
• Effective for up to 10 years with proper care

They’re an easy way to help keep your teeth healthy—especially for children who are still learning good brushing habits.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Getting dental sealants is one of the simplest preventive treatments we offer:

1. Evaluation: Dr. Amanpreet Kaur Sodhi will examine your teeth to make sure they’re healthy and ready for sealing. If there’s any decay, we’ll address it first.
2. Cleaning: We’ll gently clean and dry the teeth to ensure the sealant bonds properly.
3. Application: A thin layer of resin is painted onto the tooth surface, flowing into the tiny grooves and pits.
4. Hardening: The sealant is cured with a special light, creating a strong, invisible shield in just seconds.

You’ll be able to eat and drink normally right after your visit.

Caring for Dental Sealants

Taking care of your sealants is simple:

• Brush and floss every day as usual.
• Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens.
• Visit us regularly to check that the sealants are still intact.

With good care, sealants can last many years and dramatically reduce your risk of cavities.
